IDOL Content Component 12.13

# Configure View to Redact Documents

You can optionally configure View to redact certain items in the HTML output that it produces. View uses IDOL Eduction to location entities (snippets of information) and redacts them in the output file, rather than returning the original value.

For example, if you want to redact personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, you can configure View to find names in the document and hide them before it returns the HTML file.

IMPORTANT: To use document redaction, your license must allow you to use Eduction and the particular grammar categories that you want to use (such as PII).

When you use a View cache, View saves the redacted version in the cache so that any further requests for the same document are also redacted.

To configure View to redact entities

1. Open the IDOL View component configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[Viewing]` section, set `DocumentRedactionSettings` to the name of a configuration section where you configure the Eduction settings. For example:

       DocumentRedactionSettings=Redaction

3. Create a new configuration section with the name that you set.

4. Set the appropriate Eduction configuration parameters to use the grammars and entities that find values that you want to redact, as well as any additional settings for Eduction. For more information, refer to the Eduction User and Programming Guide. For example:

       [Redaction]
       ResourceFiles=C:\PII\names.ecr,C:\PII\address.ecr

5. Save and close the configuration file.

6. Restart the IDOL View component for your changes to take effect.
